It is a silver half-crown of King Charles I, initial mark triangle, in production 1439-40, wt: 14.75 g. It therefore fits in well with the coins of the previous find, which were: Elizabeth I (1558-1603) 1. Shilling martlet (1560-1) 5.78g 2. Sixpence coronet (1567-70) 1567 2.98g Charles I (1625-49) 3. Half-crown anchor (1638-9) N2211 14.96g 4. Half-crown star (1640-1) N2211 14.65g In my report of 2011 I suggested: 'This group may be the whole of a small group lost or deposited at this period, or else remnants or strays from a larger deposit recovered in the past, either by the original owner or subsequently someone else, or even be part of a larger group still concealed.' The new find seems to confirm that idea. It is my opinion, therefore, that this coin was part of a group of silver coins deposited together in the early 1640s and therefore that it fulfils the criteria of Treasure, according to the terms of the Act.

Only the bezel of the finger ring is present. It is oval in shape, with a cavity at the centre, intended to accommodate a gem, possibly a Classical intaglio. The border is engraved with a legend that reads: +IERVSALEM (Jersusalem). The bezel is silver and dates from the 13th Century AD. Dimensions: Height 17mm, width 15mm. The bezel was not weighed. Consequently, in terms of age and as the object contains a minimum of 10% precious metal, it qualifies as Treasure under the stipulations of the Treasure Act 1996.120015002012T40442012-05-30T16:28:53Z2013-06-13T14:41:46Z17151STAFFORDSHIREEAST STAFFORDSHIRERestricted AccessUttoxeter Rural52.912382-1.897353images/tbrindle/Tom BrindleSilverwmid-63cb46_2012T404.jpg394314WEST MIDLANDS505461WMID-6283C3EAR SCOOPMEDIEVALA Medieval silver ear-scoop and toothpick, with a twisted shank, with engraved decoration along the twisted surface, hammered into a scoop at one end, which is broken off, and with a flat pointed tip at the other end, probably intended as a toothpick or for cleaning the nails. (For comparable examples see TAR 2005/6 Nos. 396-399). The implement is made from silver sheet and dates from the thirteenth to fifteenth century. Dimensions: maximum length 48 mm. The find therefore qualifies as Treasure under the stipulations of the Treasure Act 1996 in terms of both age and precious metal content.

The object is cylindrical in shape and hollow, with an integrally cast sub-circular suspension or attachment loop on the top (or bottom, depending on how the article was used). The aforementioned loop is fairly intricately cast, situated on a moulded rectangular plate. The cylinder tapers very gradually, from 12.49 mm at the widest end to 10.77 mm at the narrowest. From the widest end there are two projections, one broken and incomplete. The complete projection emerges from the same side as the loop. The incomplete projection is on the opposite side. The complete projection incorporates a rivet hole for attachment at the end, with a corroded iron rivet still intact. The object measures 45.4 mm in length, 12.49 mm wide, the metal is 1.54 mm thick and the object weighs 10.5 grams. It has a smooth green patina which is perhaps indicative of a late Iron Age or Roman date. -1.822377SK1252STAFFORDSHIRE MOORLANDSKEY (LOCKING)STAFFORDSHIRE2012-05-17T10:03:09ZWEST MIDLANDS150Copper alloy84.47WMID-4CCDD1.jpg381700Tom BrindleTom Brindle38.75503498WMID-4CCDD14ILAM44images/tbrindle/2012-05-17T10:17:00Z1400ROMAN53.0651113.81 An incomplete Roman rotary key. Unusually, the iron shank and bit of the key survive and it is the copper-alloy handle which is incomplete. The shank is square in section and terminates in an elaborate bit at the locking end. The bit consists of an 'F' shaped projection at the top and a further 'F' shaped projection which emerges from a downard projecting stem at the end of the shaft and which then projects back towards the handle. This section of the bit has a projection at the bottom which is at a right angle to the rest of the bit, projecting towards the holder, when the key is held in plan with the bit end to the left. The copper-alloy handle has a gap in the top which appears as though it may have been deliberate rather than a break, and probably facilitated the insertion of the shank into the handle - the gap then being squeezed together to allow the hollow handle to grip the shank. Ferrous corrosion has leached from the gap on to the body of the handle. The moulded copper-alloy handle is oval in section and consists of two oval collars with a waisted section in between followed by a sub-rectangular collar with a further narrowed section. The three collars are decorated with incised lines. A broken openwork section emerges from the third sub-rectangular collar, with one rectangular projection at the top. It is likely that this end of the key originally terminated in a 'trilobate' handle, similar to that seen in another example of a Roman key recorded on this database as SOMDOR-9B8C55. Other similar keys recorded on the PAS database include: DENO-04A217, Roman key from Whitwell, Derbyshire; ESS-83F497, Roman key from Roxwell, Essex; ESS-E75563, Roman key from Canvey Island. These types of keys are thought to be of post-AD 150 in date. The key measures 84.47 mm long, 38.75 mm wide at the bit, 15.53 mm wide at the remains of the handle, 13.81 mm thick at the handle, 7.4 mm thick at the shank, and it weighs 44 grams. The iron shank and bit suffer from ferrous corrosion whilst the remnants of the copper-alloy handle have a green patina. -1.822377SK1252Henry II of EnglandPennySTRATFORD ON AVONCOINWARWICKSHIRE2012-05-16T15:43:19ZWEST MIDLANDS19.361180SilverNorthampton8wmid-3cB172.jpg398250Tom BrindleTom BrindleCrowned bust facing, pellet bewteen HENRICVS and REX503438WMID-3CB1724LONG ITCHINGTON1.9Short cross class 1b (N 963)images/tbrindle/2012-09-26T09:00:09ZEnglish coin short and long cross period 1180 - 1278RAVL ON NORHT11185MEDIEVAL52.281695Voided short cross, quatrefoil in each angle0.81 A medieval silver penny of Henry II's short cross coinage, dating from AD 1180 to 1185.
